    15 Years Fighting ALS - with Joe B. Martin
    Sep 29 2022

    In our first episode, we explore how we've made it 15 years as a nonprofit that people said "wouldn't work!" The Rev. Dr. Joe B. Martin, son of our namesake Joe Martin, shares the story of how we came to be a leading provider of free ALS-specialized care, and the key to our success: building a caring community that surrounds every person living with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) who we help. Have a look at our logo, the embracing hands, which were inspired by this caring community as we take you on a 15 year journey (in just 19 minutes!).

    Joe Martin lived actively with ALS for 12 years. One year after his passing, The Joe Martin ALS Foundation was founded according to his vision and instructions for an organization that would provide free care to everyone facing this challenging diagnosis. Today we have served over 800 families with free care and extensive support including free transportation, loaner equipment, travel planning, caregiving workshops, and Joe's Camp, a camp for kids who have a parent or grandparent with ALS.
